See https://research.swtch.com/gorace, under the tiele "A Race". I wanted to modify the example to produce the -1 pointer, which would be rather easy, but to my surprise, the original unmodified code does no more produce the fail (go version go1.9.2 linux/amd64). That does not mean the principles discussed the rsc's blog post do no more apply, it's just something now prevents the fail. But that's not the same as a guarantee of it not happening. -- -j -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
